Did you notice that even under Obama, those "evil rich" people still aren't paying more in taxes?
You think Obama is any different than any other bought and paid for politician? Think again. He talks pretty, talks about the "rich" paying their "fair share," but does he do anything about it? No. Did he do anything about it when he could have? No.
Obama is blathering class warfare bullshit to get the votes of people who still don't understand he is lying to them. He's a very good liar, but a liar nonetheless.

I have a problem with the GOP attitude of,"I've got mine, you get yours" and "what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine", but the social programs so touted by the Democrats too often get sidetracked and then maligned by the lack of oversight after they are initiated. I tend to vote for the lesser of two evils. One of these days, people will realize that America is one large business and needs, first and foremost, to be run like one. I voted for Perot the first time. I'm fucking tired of popularity politics. ijs.
